Tuesday's contest between the red-hot Philadelphia Phillies and Atlanta Braves generated another entry into the long-running drama between the Phillies, their fans and Braves pitcher Spencer Strider.

Philadelphia Phillies superstar Bryce Harper was forced to exit Tuesday's game against the Atlanta Braves in the first inning after getting hit by a pitch.

Even with Spencer Strider’s fastball averaging 2-3 mph below the extreme heat he threw before his second elbow surgery 13 months ago, he still pitched competitively against a Philadelphia Phillies team he has dominated for the most part in the past.
